  For a second time, the SGE Development Workshop brought together Grid Engine
 users, developers and development partners. They came from sixteen organizations,
 out of research and industry, in eight different countries. The attendees
 participated in introductory sessions to current and future Grid Engine
developments.  They had the opportunity to give an overview of their own
Grid Engine projects,  and to learn about others' Grid interests, areas of
focus and results. Breakout  sessions on several topics further stimulated
 discussion of common interest.  Additional Grid Engine Development Workshops
will be proposed on the project  mail lists.</p>

<p align="left" style="margin-bottom: 0.08in; page-break-before: auto;">Recently,
  there have emerged numerous grid installations and systems around the globe.
 Most of them are equipped with a graphical user interface, preferably a web
 based one, to submit and execute computing jobs. Yet, users of these multiple
 grids must switch from one computing portal to another to utilize resources
 that are available to them. It requires a  big effort to migrate a job description
from one grid to another.<br>
  Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center proposes a new mechanism to
enable resources of multiple grids within a user interface. The PROGRESS grid
service provider, which provides grid services sharable between distributed
computing portals and other grid user interfaces, is set to be equipped with
a grid resource broker plug-in solution. The grid resource broker plug-ins
will provide mechanisms for communication with a particular grid system, e.g.
PROGRESS grid resource broker, Globus, GridLab, etc. They will serve as gateways
to the grids whenever there's a requirement to submit a computing job to
the grid and enable job descriptions migration. In this presentation  the
overall functionality of the PROGRESS grid service provider is delivered and
the idea of the grid resource broker plug-in mechanism <span style=""><span
 style="font-style: normal;"><font size="3"><font face="Thorndale">is introduced.</font></font></span></span></p>

<br>
PSNC is a leading provider of computational power in Poland. To deal with
extensive HPC demands, all requests are served via heterogeneous queuing
systems such as LSF, LL, PBS, etc. which help sharing resources among users.
With the advent of PROGRESS project in 2002 PSNC gained another grid-like
infrastructure which utilize SGE.<br>
This talk presents our solution of integrating SGE deployed in PROGRESS into
our production environment based on the LSF platform.<br>

<p align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0in; page-break-before: auto;">During
  the past years, workload management has become a very important topic in
 the CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) environment. In June 2003 Sun announced
 MSC.Software's plans to market, implement and support Sun Grid Engine and
 to offer associated services to help its manufacturing customers worldwide
 reduce the time and costs associated with product development. In our presentation,
 we describe MSC.Software's recent work around Sun Grid Engine.  For example,
  MSC.Software has implemented an interface to Sun Grid Engine in its MSC.BatchSubmit
 offering. This tool offers a web-based interface between users of CAE software
 and Grid Engine, so that engineers can easily access CAE applications in
a compute farm from any web browser on any workstation platform, independent
 of the workstation architecture. In addition, MSC.Software developed Grid
 Engine administration modules for the popular Webmin environment, so that
  system administrators can easily set up and configure a Grid Engine installation
 from a web browser Based on this development work, MSC.Software has implemented
 Sun Grid Engine based solutions both in multiple customer service projects
 and at MSC. Software's European headquarters in Munich, where 200 MSC engineers

<p>The integration of GEP into a Security Infrastructure like Entrust have
 been discussed and this is a project underway at HPCVL.<br>
  The problem here are the different layers where security is deployed by
the different components of the whole system, which is rather complicated
and only some aspects could be discussed.<br>
  </p>
   
<p>The second topic that had been covered was the need for easier addition
 of applications and how to describe them in a generic way.</p>
          
<p>One possible solution would the definition of an application definition
 language and a corresponding tool to allow the integration of any application
 into a portal and to automatically generate the needed configuration dialogues.</p>
       
<p>Three kinds of users would be useful.</p>
       
<ul>
    	<li>

<p>Discussion points were:</p>
       
<h5 class="western">Definition and need of OGSA / OGSI?</h5>
       
<ul>
    	<li>                                   
    <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">What are OGSA/OGSI?</p>

    </li>
     
</ul>
       
<p><br>
    </p>
       
<h5 class="western">Objectives / Plans / Achievements</h5>
       
<p>OGSA/OGSI are nice, but functionality is more useful than standards.</p>
       
<p>If SGE had remote monitoring/controlling features, most people would be
 happy.</p>
       
<p>XML output from SGE command line utils would be a huge step in the right
 direction.</p>
       
<p>An OGSI interface would be more useful than OGSA support.</p>
       
<p>OGSI binding for DRMAA a start, but need broader functionality.</p>
       
<p><br>
    </p>
       
<h5 class="western">Requirements/Scenarios</h5>
       
<p>There are two basic needs:</p>
       
<ul>
    	<li>                                   
    <p>Hierarchical grid site structure</p>
    </li>
     
</ul>
       
<ul>
    	<li>                                   
    <p>Two-tier grid site structure with central meta-scheduler</p>
    </li>
     
</ul>
       
<p>It is possible to do both without OGSA/OGSI</p>
       
<p><br>
    </p>

<p>The meeting was divided into three parts:</p>
       
<h4 class="western">Current used configurations of the different grids and
 job characteristics:</h4>
       
<ul>
    	<li>                                   
    <p>Usually some large, more medium, and most short running jobs</p>
    </li>
     
</ul>
       
<ul>
    	<li>                                   
    <p>Short running: 10 to 15 min (usually not parallel jobs)</p>
    </li>
     
</ul>
       
<ul>
    	<li>                                   
    <p>Long running : over 8 hours ( usually massive parallel jobs)</p>
    </li>
     
</ul>
       
<ul>
    	<li>

 to restart themselves, if they need longer. This is used 	to prevent starvation
 of jobs.</p>

<p><br>
    </p>
       
<h5 class="western">Problems with the current SGE feature set and different
 work arounds:</h5>
       
<p>General feedback was positive. Most have some additional scripts to handle
 specific requirements and things SGE cannot do (such as: a pre scheduler,
 ...)</p>
       
<p>Some wishes for enhancements were:</p>
       
<ul>
    	<li>                                   
    <p>Better license management for parallel jobs with consumables</p>
    </li>
     
</ul>
       
<ul>
    	<li>                                   
    <p>A way to limit the number of jobs per host.</p>
    </li>
     
</ul>
       
<ul>
    	<li>                                   
    <p>A better way to specify job dependencies</p>

<p><b><br>
  Dear Conference Participants, Dear Colleagues,</b><br>
  </p>
   
<p>I want to thank everybody who participated and contributed to our Second
 International Workshop on Grid Engine Technologies, September 22 -24, 2003,
 in Regensburg, and made it a real success.</p>
             
<p>With 50 participants, 30 experts presentations, and several Workshops on
the last day, the Conference was certainly packed, interesting, and very interactive.
Besides presentations about new Grid Engine core technology, there was also
a great collection of work around Grid Engine, e.g. Globus, OGSA, Data Grids,
Cluster, Campus and Global Grids, Advanced Scheduling, Security, and more.</p>
       
<p>I would like to especially thank our esteemed technology partners who provided
a lot of important input to Grid Engine, thus helping us to develop an advanced
and competitive next-generation DRM technology.<br>
    </p>
          
<p>Final, special thanks to Monika Grobecker and Fritz Ferstl, who again organized
the Workshop and contributed to a very successful event.<br>
    </p>
